To ALL WHOMIT MAY CoNoERN:

Be it known that I, EMORY MCCLINTOCK, of New Brunswick, in the count,r of MiddleseL-nndtute of New Jersey, have invented a new and improved Gas-Fixture; and I do' hereby declare that Athe following is n. full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the :it-rt to ineke and use the seme, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming a. part of this specification;

This invention relates to a. new device' whereby the ordinnrygas-cock is dispensed with in ges-fixtures for illuminating pirrposes, ns, for'nstunee, gos-brackets for rooms and for other positions where 'gas-iixtures are arranged for illuminating purposes; and the invention consists in combining the movable pipe with the movable vtap of thejoint in such a manner that when the latter is' in one or more pnrticuln-r positions, the gas will flow through it, but when in all other positions the ges will be cut off; the object being to dispense with the gascock, lessen the expense, and render the {ixture more convenient for use.

The drawing represents n. longitudinal section of a. gas-bracket arranged in the pipe according to myplan.

Ais the brncketpipc. B is the 'gasfpipe -C represents the tup on the end of the brneket. This tup is fastened in the pipe with Aa. screw and washer in the usual way. The orifice c?, through the tup C, isV infifle :1s represented in the drawing. As shown, the holes in the tap, und the hole ein the pipe B,1egister or correspond, and gas will iiow through to the burner; but ifthe bracket is turned-so that these holes do not register, the low'of Vgas will bc cut oif.l There mny be more than one of the holes fl in the tap, so that the gas will ilow through when the bracket stands in other positions. i

I am aware that ges-,brackets are not uncoininon, formed with two or more'sections, for 'ine extension or adjustment of the burner, and thnlt the joints or taps by which the sections are connected together allow the to ilow through when vthey stand in any position, but I :im notnwure that those joints or taps have been hitherto so formed that the fiow of gars couldrhe stopped or cut oi? by turning tl e bracket, or the sections of it, where they have been used for illuminating purposes.

By thisa-rrangernent the gas-cock is entirelyunnecessary, and its whole expense is saved in theiiixture, while the gas is mucl'i easier controlled by using the bracket as lever than by turning the ordinarygus-coclr, which frequently sticks in its socket, rendering it diiiicult to controlthe flow oi' the Having thus described my invention7 what I claim ns new7 :1nd desire to secure hy Letters Patent, is-

As a new article oi`manui`nctnre, u revolving gns-bruckett`or illuminating-Ages, constructed :is described, in such n. manner that when the bracket stands in one or more particular positions, the gus will ilow through it, but whcnmturned in all other positions the flow ot' gus will be cut oit, :is hereinshown .fx-nd described.

The above specification ot my invention signed by me, thisith dey oi' September, 1367.
